Photosmart A530 and A630

Linux OS Distribution(s):

All

Notes:

On these two products, there is an embedded UI option that makes the unit enumerate like a CDROM in a windows environment. In order for these units to install properly, in a Linux environment, this option must be deactivated.

To deactivate this option on the A530 follow these steps:

1. Plug the power supply into the back of the A530 but do not connect the USB.

2. Hit the "menu" button on the front of the unit.

3. Hit the "left" button twice and select the "tools" menu by pressing the "print/ok" button.
